Abstract
Embodiments relate to a neural processor circuit that may include a fetch circuit that fetches coefficient data of a machine learning model from a memory source. The neural processor circuit may also include one or more neural engine circuits that are coupled to the fetch circuit. A neural engine circuit may include a buffer circuit that stores the coefficient data. The neural engine circuit may also include a coefficient organizing circuit that generates at least a first mapping and a second mapping of the stored coefficient data according to one or more control signals. The neural engine may also include a computation circuit that receives and processes at least a portion of input data with the coefficient data as mapped according to the first mapping or process at least the portion of the input data with the coefficient data as mapped according to the second mapping.
